Some relationships do not fall apart because people stop loving each other. They fall apart because small reactions slowly turn into bigger wounds. A harsh reply, a silent treatment, a jealous question or an argument that becomes a competition can change the emotional atmosphere between two people. Emotionally intelligent people are not perfect. They get angry, jealous, hurt and disappointed too. The difference is what they do with those emotions. They understand that feeling something strongly does not mean they have to act on it immediately. That one habit can completely change the way a relationship survives difficult moments.
